In reply to osama alhumeidi. ADXL345 is a 3 axis accelerometer and mpu6050 is a 6 axis sensor: 3 axis accelero and 3 axis gyro

In reply to osama alhumeidi. I've never used the ADXL345, but it appears to be a 3-axis accelerometer. The MPU6050 contains both a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope. You can find the datasheets online for more detailed comparison.

and it goes on... I checked the pin connections and they were right. Do you the chip is damaged?

To be able to help you, I’ll need a little bit more information.

When I run the code,
the monitor shows only zeroes as the values

What should I do?
